Feelin' Chesty...

I SCORED at a garage sale today!

I got a chest freezer for $25!

Funny thing..I wished for a chest freezer a few weeks ago when I realized trimming the food budget means buying in bulk.

We are true carnivores at this house and meat is a huge percentage of the food budget!

Plus fishing season is coming soon..

If it goes as well as last year we will fill that freezer full of salmon in a week!

All that zucchini in the post below equaled 16 cups of grated zucchini!

I froze it in 2 and 4 cup sized for making my Mom's recipe for chocolate zucchini bread.

I love watching people wolf it down having no idea how healthy it is..

especially people who claim to dislike zucchini..he he

Seems I lost that recipe when I had the computer bug a few months ago,

damn internet.

I will post it after I call my Mom and get it

:)

I found a great deal on strawberries and made a few loaves of strawberry bread today.

I filled one loaf with cream cheese-it's beyond words it's so good.

Are you drooling?

Do you want the recipe?

I will try to freeze the rest of the berries before I am tempted to make more bread.

It disappears fast!

The rock tumbler is still tumbling in the garage.

Week one of medium grit sand accomplished.

Now it's in week one of polish grit.

Then one more week of another polish...

But

The rocks are starting to look impressive!

Smoother than river rocks and soon to be shiny like gems for jewelry!

Back to work tomorrow..

pray the back to school rush is gentle on me
